Chapter 2: The Young Knight
"What, didn't go to check in?!"
Satellite video communication ...... On the screen, Peter Chen was dripping with cold sweat and didn't dare to face it...... It stands to reason that he is also in his thirties, so naturally he will not be afraid of girls in their early twenties.
But the witch who was communicating on the video screen in front of him, but the witch who would dare to fire the president of the Wudu branch directly if he didn't say a word, really didn't let him be careless.
"Miss Sakura, to be precise, it's just that the young lady you said didn't go to the room we arranged, but stayed in Young Master Qiu's suite......"
"What! Can you still get her to the hotel? Didn't I say there was a 'traffic jam' first!!"
Peter Chen's handkerchief wiped his sweat, "Miss...... That lady got into the car with Young Master Qiu, we can't stop it......"
"Incompetent!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Peter Chen was even more panicked, afraid that the position experienced by the operation department would also come to an end.
Unexpectedly, Miss Sakura on the other side of the world sighed at this time, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you have worked hard today, and you will make up for half a day of vacation next week, which can be regarded as your compensation today." ”
Peter Chen was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that things were messed up, and he could make up for it with half a day's leave, so he was overjoyed on the spot: "Thank you, Miss Sakura!"
"Hmph, if things could have been done, I was going to grant you a week of paid leave, but now it's gone, and I won't have this opportunity in the future. ”
"Thank you...... Miss Xie and Sakura. He couldn't laugh or cry at once—of course, his face was a little bitter.
As soon as the video communication was turned off, Miss Sakura on the other side of the world leaned back all of a sudden, and the chair was pressed as if it was about to break, muttering, "I can't see it...... Sure enough, it's still the gene of the Song family. ”
Whether it is the slut-like uncle Song Haoran or her beloved grandfather, in fact, there has never been such a thing as taboo women. She grew up in such a family that started completely from black, and this is even more commonplace.
But except for his grandmother, who has passed away, his grandfather has never planned to straighten the women around him. As for Song Haoran, he has no intention of getting married......
What do I want to do with these???
......
......
In the foggy capital, on this rare sunny afternoon, in front of a five-story old building on the edge of the Thames, a Beetle with a high degree of preservation slowly stopped.
After that, two men in suits and leather shoes with elegant manners stepped out of the car. One of them was older, about thirty-five years old, and competent.
The other, on the other hand, was noticeably much younger, a young man in his early twenties, blonde-haired, immature and energetic, with a long strip of brown cloth wrapped in his hand.
On the stairs of several steps, in front of the door of the small building, there was already a black man in a black trench coat and an eyepatch in his left eye waiting at this time.
The older gentleman man smiled and greeted the one-eyed black man, "Nick, you should change the color of your blindfold." ”
One-eyed black man ...... Nick obviously thought that he was not smiling, and at this time, the remaining eyes did not squint, and said indifferently: "Gareth, the male and female hostess of this house have gone out at present, and you have at most half an hour to exorcise the evil spirits on the woman of this family." ”
"Only half an hour?" the spiritual young man next to the middle-aged gentleman was stunned.
Nick, the black man, said slowly, "Because I need at least fifteen minutes to clean up the aftermath, and I can't be sure that the man and woman of this house will come back early." ”
“OK。 Gareth patted Nick on the shoulder, "Take it easy, friend." I'll be over before the time comes...... Don't you really think about getting a new eye patch? I always feel like you're the one in the movie. ”
Nick opened the door behind him directly.
Gareth shrugged, smiled and led the young man who had followed him into the house...... It wasn't until the two walked in that Nick closed the door.
The Knights of the Round Table, one of the oldest organizations in Britain, has been guarding the peace of the land since its inception...... From the wars of the past to the removal of spirits today.
Today, it has even faded out of human sight, and only a handful of people are left to know that your mechanism is still alive and working.
"Gareth of the Twelve Knights actually brought newcomers out on a mission this time...... It seems that it is time for the trial of the vacant seats again. ”
Nick leaned in front of the door, silently thinking that every five years, a group of outstanding young people would come from all over the country to obtain the inheritance of the name of [Ector], one of the twelve knights, which has been hanging in the air until now.
......
"Klein, do you know why evil spirits are born? ”
On the wooden stairway, the man who had given up his real name and now inherited the name of Gareth suddenly turned around and asked.
The young man named Klein hurriedly said: "All hatred, jealousy, and evil thoughts, after death, if there is no rest, will remain in the form of evil thoughts, and by constantly devouring other evil thoughts, they will eventually become evil spirits. In addition, if left unchecked, evil spirits will continue to devour human lives and eventually become terrible evil spirits. ”
"That's a good point, the book is well memorized. Gareth smiled slightly, "But there are some that are not taught in the books. ”
"What is it?" asked young Klein quickly.
Gareth looked at the end of the corridor and said casually, "If human beings are willing to fall, they can also become evil spirits...... Well, there it is. ”
Gareth stopped at the handrail at the end of the corridor, and as far as his eyes could see, it was the pillar of the handrail, "Is the demon powder belt, Klein?" ”
"Bring it!"
Klein quickly took out a box the size of a mirror box, opened it very carefully, and sprinkled some cyan dust on the pillar.
I saw a blood-red, as if it was still dripping blood, an evil garden array depicted on the basis of the pentagram, emerging little by little.
Klein was surprised, "Mr. Gareth...... This is a magic array?"
"To be precise, a type of witchcraft ritual, and a common structure of a branch of the Sea Witch of Love. Gareth said very carefully, as if teaching, "The witches of this branch are more adept at using drugs and spiritual witchcraft, and they are also one of the few types of witches who are not forbidden to contact with humans. ”
"Could it be that the woman of this male master is a branch of the Witch of the Sea of Love?"
Gareth said: "Not necessarily, it is possible that they just accidentally obtained the witchcraft manuscripts they had wandered outside, and because of mistakes and improper learning, they went on an attempt...... The witchcraft of this witch is basically in terms of healing, unlike this, which is full of evil powers. ”
"Oh...... Mr. Gareth, you are truly knowledgeable. Klein said respectfully—he was Gareth's knightly servant—and even such a position had to be won through a lot of tests. Obviously, he cherished this opportunity, and was fortunate enough to be recommended by Gareth to participate in the Ector Legacy Trial in the near future.
Gareth shook his head and smiled: "Where is my erudition, it's just that I have suffered enough in the past." About the love sea witch, it was one of my seniors who told me. ”
"To be Mr. Gareth's predecessor, he must be a great knight who is upright, kind, and powerful. Klein was intrigued.
"Powerful is really powerful, and maybe kind...... But integrity is not. Gareth shook his head, "This senior, he was already stripped of his knightly name twenty years ago. ”
"How come!" Klein was shocked, even more shocked than he was to discover the witchcraft on the pillar - how much of a crime had he committed by being stripped of his knighthood by the authorities?
"If you also have a daughter who is in love with a vampire......" Gareth sighed slowly, as if he wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly became sharp, as sharp as an eagle's eye.
Klein sensed Gareth's change for a moment, but didn't have time to react - Gareth waved his arm at an incredible speed...... It's a speed that surpasses the limits of the human body.
Something, cut by Gareth's swing, landed on the floor...... It's sludge-like, sticky creatures - when it is cut open and falls to the ground, it loses its vitality and instantly turns into a pile of black powder.
"Klein. Gareth suddenly let go of his body at this time, and said coldly: "I'll leave the task to you this time, I haven't checked your progress in today's swordsmanship class." ”
Knowing that this was Mr. Gareth's test of himself, Klein hesitated in his heart for a moment before nodding resolutely...... Untied the brown cloth on the long object in his hand.
It is a one-handed cross-sword.
Klein took a deep breath and walked along the front of the corridor at the end of the corridor little by little—he had actually experienced several actual battles, but they were all on the sidelines, and it was the first time to deal with them alone like this—of course, this kind of actual combat would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Mr. Gareth must not be disappointed...... Klein stood firm in his convictions.
"Come on Klein! Klein is great! Come on Klein!!"
Behind him, the personable Gareth Knight suddenly put on a fake nose that he didn't know where to go, crossed his hands on his waist, and jumped up with his legs.
"Mr. Gareth, you are one of the Twelve Horsemen of the Round Table, great Gareth! please stop your indecent behavior!!
"Ah, it's rare that I've found a new color of fake nose......" Gareth sighed in frustration, then whispered, "Come on Klein...... Klein, come on~~"
Klein sighed heavily, there was no doubt that he had revered this knight from the bottom of his heart...... If it weren't for this real character that would fall off the line from time to time, maybe it would be even more perfect.
Gathering his mind, the young trainee knight approached the room at the end of the corridor again...... He only felt a cold chill that began to invade his body little by little, but the strong physique he had cultivated over the years was still able to resist this chill.
Finally, the door to the room at the end of the corridor slammed, and an even colder air stream blew out of the room...... It turned out to be a strong wind that was not weak.
At the same time, bursts of terrifying shrill laughter also appeared at this time.
Klein went against the wind, infusing the steel sword in his hand with the power of his sword that had been tempered in an ancient way...... The slender cross sword suddenly emitted a faint cyan light, breaking through the strong wind.
Klein let out a loud shout, raised his crosssword, and slammed into the room—only to hear a smashing sound in the room.
Moments later, a figure rolled out of the room, only to see that Klein's left eye had become red and swollen.
He soon got to his feet, lifted the cross again, and rushed into the ...... again with a shout Get out, stand up, raise your sword, and rush into the ...... again Get out, stand up, raise your sword.
I don't know when Gareth got an extra cup of coffee in his hand — and by the way, he found an old-fashioned vinyl record player in the hallway.
"Oh, the owner of this house is in such good taste, I love it. ”
He took out the vinyl disc, put it in the record player, and plucked the stylus...... It's dance music, the blue Danube.
"Drink!!", "Ha!!", "Yah!!"
The indomitable, warlike shouts and the notes of dance music mingle wonderfully in the corridors...... Gareth sat down and began to flip through the newspapers of the day.
"Oh, brave Klein, please hold on until I'm done reading this article. ”
"I'll work hard!!! ha!!"
“Good-boy。 ”
......
......
"Yin Tao?"
Instead of eating the afternoon tea sent by the hotel, the maid lady prepared a light fruit bowl for her master.
"yes, this hotel is not bad, there is also an indoor organic field underneath, I went to pick some back. Yuya said softly.
The cherry stems have even been pulled out, like sparkling rubies.
The suites on the upper floor of this hotel can be said to have everything, and there is also a small outdoor swimming pool on the terrace outside - Boss Luo is on the beach chair on the terrace at this moment, reading an English book without having anything to do.
He took a Yin peach from the plate and put it in his mouth to taste it, and suddenly said curiously: "By the way, when I first came up, I didn't seem to see the thirteenth floor...... Is it all like this? ”
"In the West, the number 13 is taboo. The maid sat next to her and said softly, "There are many old-school buildings, and many of them will cancel the 13th floor, but there are very few modern ones." ”
Boss Luo looked at the Thames River outside and smiled: "The 13th floor that disappeared, I don't know if anything interesting will happen." ”
"If the owner wants to have it, it will naturally have it. "Miss Maid has the truth.
Luo Qiu was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I still want to be quiet for two days." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a Yin peach, brought it to the maid's lips, and carried out a feeding activity.
I saw the maid lady ruffle her hair, lowered her head and gently opened her lips, and slowly bit it.
"Is it delicious? ”
"Hmm. ”
